ME-3400E-24TS-M provides managed Layer 2 Carrier Ethernet access through 24 Fast Ethernet copper ports and two fixed Gigabit combo uplinks. Each uplink offers shared RJ-45 and SFP connections, rather than separate copper and fiber interfaces that operate simultaneously. The non-PoE switch belongs to the ME 3400E family and occupies one rack unit for service-provider Ethernet-to-the-Business connections. METROACCESS supplies Layer 2 VPN functions, including 802.1Q Tunneling and L2PT, for carrying customer traffic across shared infrastructure. The discontinued ME-3400EG-12CS-M differs by providing Gigabit dual-purpose access ports. This 24-port Fast Ethernet access switch separates subscriber-facing copper connections from higher-speed transport links; its access-port speed remains the principal distinction when matching an existing installation.

8 Gbps forwarding bandwidth and 6.5 Mpps forwarding performance define the traffic-processing limits. 8000 MAC entries provide the address-learning ceiling, with allocation controlled through deployment-specific memory templates. Local resources include 128 MB DRAM and 32 MB flash for Cisco IOS operation and image storage. ME-3400E-24TS-M supports command-line administration, SNMP monitoring and CiscoWorks integration; SSH requires a cryptographic software image. RSTP, Flexlink and Resilient Ethernet Protocol provide different approaches to link recovery, while configurable control-plane protection controls subscriber-originated protocol traffic. Routing is not included in METROACCESS. 72W maximum consumption applies to the two-DC-supply configuration, so power sizing must follow the installed supply arrangement rather than treating every configuration as equivalent. Digital optical monitoring supports compatible transceiver monitoring, and external alarm inputs allow environmental events to enter the operational monitoring workflow.
ORM Systems supplies ME-3400E-24TS-M in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, installed software image, power configuration and required accessories on the purchase order. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to a 1-year warranty, and returns are available for 30 days on every condition, with terms applying. PO accepted, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume purchasing, with regional stock/RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

When an existing service-provider installation needs additional customer circuits, subscriber-interface defaults affect the commissioning plan. UNI and ENI ports start disabled and do not perform local switching by default. Specify the intended interface roles, customer isolation behavior and activation configuration before issuing the purchase order.
When a lab must reproduce an installed Carrier Ethernet service, packet-size limits need to match the interfaces carrying the test traffic. Fast Ethernet bridging and routing support frames up to 1998 bytes, while Gigabit bridging supports 9000 bytes. Specify test interfaces and frame sizes before ordering staging equipment.
When several retained sites need consistent provisioning, DHCP-based automatic configuration and image updates provide a repeatable starting point. The switch supports 1005 active VLANs and configuration rollback. Check the site VLAN inventory, provisioning files and rollback configuration before placing a consolidated purchase order for additional units.
Gigabit copper connections for every endpoint
The 24 dedicated copper access ports operate at 10/100 Mbps. Only the two combo uplinks provide Gigabit connectivity, so the access ports cannot satisfy this requirement.
10G uplinks to the transport network
Uplinks stop at 1G. N540-6Z18G-SYS-A continues the replacement chain with six 1/10G SFP+ interfaces, but also changes access connectivity to 18 Gigabit SFP ports.

ME-3400E-24TS-M identifies the ME 3400E model with 24 dedicated 10/100 Ethernet ports, two Gigabit copper/SFP combo uplinks and modular power-supply slots. The 24 identifies the dedicated access-port count. The complete 24TS-M configuration supports METROACCESS and METROIPACCESS image choices, so the installed image must be specified separately.
ME-3400E-24TS-M supports Cisco IOS CLI administration through the management console and remote Telnet or SSH, plus SNMP and CiscoWorks integration. SSH requires a cryptographic software image. Confirm the installed image and approved remote-access configuration before incorporating the switch into an existing management environment.
ME-3400E-24TS-M is discontinued, and Cisco support ended October 31, 2023. End of sale occurred October 3, 2018, and vulnerability/security support ended October 2, 2021. Additional hardware orders therefore support retained installations without restoring Cisco software maintenance, security remedies or manufacturer service eligibility.
ORM Systems offers ME-3400E-24TS-M new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty, or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco warranty service ended October 31, 2023. Refurbished managed units are inspected, bench-tested, firmware verified and factory-reset.
METROACCESS and METROIPACCESS are the principal Cisco IOS feature-image choices for ME-3400E-24TS-M; METROBASE is also supported with applicable software releases. METROACCESS adds Carrier Ethernet Layer 2 functions, while METROIPACCESS adds routing. The historical R-CD-ME3400-A2I= upgrade is discontinued without a replacement, so specify the required installed image when ordering.
No, ME-3400E-24TS-M does not provide PoE output on its 24 Fast Ethernet access ports or its combo uplinks. Endpoint power must be supplied separately. The AC and DC supply choices power the switch itself; adding a second supply does not add powered Ethernet capability.
The ME 3400E 24-port switch provides two simultaneously usable Gigabit combo uplinks, not four independent uplinks. Each combo interface shares a copper RJ-45 connection with an SFP connection. Select one medium per interface and specify compatible transceivers when the installation requires fiber rather than copper connectivity.
ME34X-PWR-AC and ME34X-PWR-DC are the AC and DC power-supply/fan modules for ME-3400E-24TS-M. The chassis has two module slots, allowing a redundant configuration when appropriately equipped. Each module includes two fans. State the required input type and installed module quantity on the purchase order.
Yes, ME-3400E-24TS-M supports OSPF and BGPv4 with the METROIPACCESS image, but not with METROACCESS. METROIPACCESS also supports static routing, RIP versions 1 and 2, EIGRP and IS-IS. Its hardware route scale reaches 5000 unicast routes, subject to memory allocation and the selected deployment configuration.
ME-3400EG-12CS-M provides Gigabit dual-purpose access interfaces, whereas ME-3400E-24TS-M uses dedicated 10/100 access ports. Both models are discontinued. The former addresses retained installations needing Gigabit access connectivity; the latter matches existing Fast Ethernet subscriber connections. Confirm interface speed requirements before treating the two chassis as interchangeable spares.
ME-3400E-24TS-M accepts modular power-supply/fan units in two slots, while ME-3400EG-2CS-A has one fixed AC supply. Both models are discontinued. The modular chassis suits retained installations specifying redundant power; the fixed-supply model suits installations whose approved equipment configuration requires a single integrated AC supply rather than modular power.
N540-6Z18G-SYS-A provides six 1/10G SFP+ interfaces, while ME-3400E-24TS-M stops at two 1G combo uplinks. N540-6Z18G-SYS-A continues the replacement chain beyond the discontinued N520-20G4Z-A. Retained Fast Ethernet installations may require the original switch; migration projects requiring 10G transport should evaluate the successor's different access connectivity before ordering.
